PLEASE.... Be careful.

Hey all.... I can't tell you who I work for but I'm in the LE/Intel community...(nothing glamorous but still) the story about the beheading in Oklahoma this morning marks a disturbing trend that is going
to be a part of our country until we stop it. This coincides with another shooting a month ago where a random 19 year old white male was shot and killed in NJ in retaliation for the US military campaign against ISIS.
Both of these scumbag murders were converts to Islam.

We as scrappers are out there by ourselves and often run into strangers. Just keep your head on a swivel, extend the olive branch of peace but have a tactical plan to kill anyone who tries to hurt you or your family. I know a lot of you carry and I HIGHLY recommend you continue to. Educate your families and don't take it lightly. Its not going to stop until WE the people stop IT. The woman in Okalahoma was a front desk secretary... she went to work and was beheaded by a monster. FBI probing suspect's recent conversion to Islam in Oklahoma beheading | Fox News



In the mean time I hope you all make big scores this week and stay safe. OH.. and on a happy side, I'm residing my house tomorrow and get all the aluminum siding scrap for ME!!! Oh and go Eagles!!

no other people have to be careful of me when I'm out scrapping.

My odds of survival are better without holes in my feet.

Many Muslims in America are afraid to be openly Islamic. Violent fringe groups and lunatics represent Islam like the Westboro Baptist Church represents Christianity.

Please don't point out the fact that Christianity has it's own dark side, it'll just be ignored Charn. Easier to hate that which we don't understand. I won't point out, getting everyone to hate Islam is exactly what groups like AQ, ISIS and the other radicals want you to do so as to help their so called Holy War. Let's forget the Crusades, so called Witch Burnings, an other things done in the name of Christianity, Catholicism, etc.

Let's also forget that the majority who follow Islam don't believe in all this violence, an don't want anything to do with AQ, ISIS, Shirra(how ever you spell it) law, etc. It's easier to hate them, when we leave out such logic. Let's also not mention how many so called Christians, an Catholics approved an participated in slavery. An the silly fact that, that guy who killed 77 teenagers in Norway did it to protect his Christian church an Norway from Islam. Cause you know..kill 77 kids is going to do that. Oh an the shooter at Sandy hook? He was Roman Catholic.

You know, lets just do away with that whole "Freedom of Religion" thing. /End Sarcasm

Oh an for the record I'm far from Muslim. I like my pork, beer, an the like for all that jazz. I just truly believe each man is entitled to his own beliefs. You want to worship a brick, good with me. Long as your not out committing a bunch of senseless violence, I don't care who you believe in. That's the beauty of Freedom Of Religion.

Now a days you have to be careful, no telling who you are dealing with and what they have done, I would rather carry a gun with me to protect myself and my family, I am the kind of guy, that if someone wants to harm me and my family, I will not hesitate to take him out of the equation, I am prior military so everyone knows that you are trained to kill, me personally, I have never killed a person in my life, but if someone pushes me to an extent, I will fight back and put an end to it.
senseless killings is really absurd, these radicals killing people in the name of Islam, why won't they say what they really mean, I am all about being careful when I am by myself, I value life as the most valuable thing on this earth, I love people and love seeing people interact with each other, but when you have a group that wants to take that away from you, then it is about time to rally the troops and go after them and end it one way or the other.

I honestly can't discern one person of true faith from another. There's a certain light that shines from within. All the rest ... their religion, their heritage,their gender, etc .... it's all just window dressing. You have nothing to fear from these people. Their minds are more about the spiritual realm. The cares and concerns of THIS world are far less important to them. If they choose to get involved it's only to alleviate some of the suffering ... certainly not promote it.

Interesting that the article cites RECENT converts to Islam. This story is as old as mankind. Crackpots and power mongers have been using religion as a beard to justify the horrible things they do for thousands of years.

Let's keep it in perspective:

There are over three hundred million people in this country. A fairly small percentage " Go Postal " every year. When they do it makes interesting news copy.

A few cases here and there doesn't mean that it represents a widespread systemic problem.

Over reacting to one incident got us into a protracted war and multiplied our adversaries a million fold worldwide. I would hope that we would have the wisdom to choose our battles a little more carefully in the future.

Scrappah- where's your general location if I may ask (a region of the US or an outside country would suffice for me). I'm a geographer and locations help put things in context for me.

Weren't all you guys listening to the story?! The host said they have no idea if his recent conversion to islam had anything to do with the fact he cut off the head of a person. It was probably just a suicide gone bad, and he just missed his own neck.

The beheading was 2 miles from my work kinda scary to think i could have been driving by there to get lunch.

Maybe it would be a good idea to outlaw carrying knives... That way, the muzzies would have to use sporks to cut of heads.

this guy was probably just a mind control patsy used to justify our war against islam...just sayin...

I'm Downeast Maine on an island just off the coast. I've always been a Mainer by culture but i was raised in a semi rough town bordering on Boston. Didn't "move home" till i was in my mid 20's.

Ummm .... two very different worlds.

Back when i was working in the city i used to work a lot of midnight shifts driving taxi, 24 hr convenience stores, or 24 hr gas stations. I don't recall running into any situations i couldn't handle but i can certainly understand why folks living in the urban jungle might become hyper vigilant.
